Oh yes – Fall is finally here and I am in my glory.The days are what I call PERFECT for here in the Midwest – typical temps are in the mid 70’s. I doesn’t get much better than that for me.

This past weekend was a busy one.We left Friday for Michigan to a Primitive/Antique show - Harvest At The Mill . It was hosted by Dawn and Dick Rossell from Holly Hills Primitives blog: http://hollyhillsprimitives.blogspot.com/

We got to meet some friends as well as help another friend get her booth organized. Had so much fun but totally worn out and hurt from too much bending and standing/walking – but the end results were worth it.

We got to see Marie Morgan from: http://primitivesbyoldeladymorgan.blogspot.com/She always has such cute Pumpkins and Jacks as well as her Primitive dolls.We found a sweet little pumpkin to go with all the other ones we have purchased from her.

Good to catch up again Karen! It's great you just up and go to shows nationwide. That must have been so much fun! With lots and lots of fab fall goodies! That blue pumpkin really caught my eye! It's gorgeous and so is your home all pretty and ready for fall!

This was the first time we did not set up at the show, but it conflicted with our buying trip. I did miss seeing Earlene and Marie and Janet, plus Dawn and Dick. We will be at the primitive show in Breckenridge, MI in Nov though. This one has more antiques than crafts. Loved your goodies youo broought home! Janice

Hi Janice - missed you! So thought you would be there. Saw many a familiar faces.I was hoping there would be more antiques than there was but it was a nice show all in all. Small but nice.I'll be over to your blog to see what you have going on.Karen

Karen,So sorry I couldn't get to Dawn's show, but a hooking retreat takes priority :)Did you buy that hooked rug? Lovely wools!Happy fall to you. The weather in Ohio is gorgeous. I just don't like what follows.Hugs :)Lauren

Like you, fall is my favorite time of year! We have had sunny days around 70-75 degrees, no humidity and wonderfully cool nights sleeping with the windows open here in New York. We usually get your weather after a day or two so keep these gorgeous days coming! I love every one of your finds. Happy decorating! Patti

Oh.....I almost forgot. I started the rug hooking. It took me a bit to adjust to it and I had a hard time using the monk cloth so I switched to burlap.....I think I need a smaller hook for the monks Cloth? I'm doing a show this weekend but I'm planning on doing a blog about the hooking after this show....

Pat - glad you got into the rug hooking business lolI like linen to work on - monks cloth spreads out too large of an area and if you rip out a strip you have to kind of work the fibers back into a straight line.Karen

I tried linen also but it was worse than the monks cloth....I have a primitive hook I purchased from The Old Tattered Flag......I think it's too big. I can't even get it through the material except the burlap? What size is yours ? Patti

Thanks for visiting!yep, my pumpkin patch seems to grow every year - I can't resist the sweet faces on Marie's pumpkins. Not sure how many I have of hers now, but a few. Don't fight the urge - give them a home.Karen

Karen, I love all of your goodies! This is the first time I didn't get to vend at the show...Blame it on Lauren....I was with her at the hook in!! It is a fantastic show...always something to bring home! Can't wait for the spring show..We just got back from one of your favorite places...PA! Went all over the Kutztown, Litiz, Adamstown area..so much fun!!!

Good MorningIt was a wonderful show - small - but good. Seems no matter what size a show is, if it is Primitives it sucks you right in and you get in the spirit of it all.I didn't suffer from NOT spending LOL Got quite a lot of things.Some day I'm going to join in on a hook in. Only went to the one two years ago and loved it.

I didn't realize that Kutztown/Adamstown had such a huge show. Next year for sure!
